If Rampage Jackson’s Saturday night bout against Rashad Evans is any indication of how Jackson’s movie, “The A-Team,” will be, don’t expect a classic.
Evans dominated Jackson during UFC 114 on the way to a win by unanimous decision. The fight lacked energy at some points, but Evans’ ability to wrestle and keep Rampage from landing any knockout blows showed why he’s on of the best fighters in the world.
The two fighters smack talked all the way up until the fight, and didn’t stop afterward.
“He can still kiss my ass,” Jackson said. “I respect that he did a good fight, but he said a whole lot of stuff and I ain’t going to forget it. … He can kiss my black ass.”
But Evans can talk all he wants now, as his win earns him a shot to reclaim the light heavyweight title from Mauricio “Shogun” Rua.
For now, Rampage will have to sit tight to see if he’ll get another shot at Evans down the road. But, at least he’ll be on the big screen, starring the the re-make of “The A-Team” which hits theaters on June 11.
